The deforestation of Haiti is very much related to charcoal production.

Consider that some of Haiti's problems are related to overpopulation,
charcoal production and efficiency. If the stoves were really
efficient, the demand for charcoal as fuel would be reduced, if the
demand for fuel were reduced, deforestation would be reduced, if the
population were reduced, the demand for fuel would be reduced.
Briquettes would also help, since there is plenty of trash on the
streets and use of briquettes would reduce demand for other fuels.
Of course, corrupt and inept officials can influence things by limiting
imports of fuel, but that is hardly limited to Haiti.
Any other ideas?
